"I found Plumb Tite in a google search and called them. They are the most professional company that I have ever worked with. Austin and John both worked extremely hard to solve my drain problem and made sure everything was clean and to my liking before they left. I highly recommend them."

"I highly recommend A and P plumbing! I woke up to a soaking wet carpet in my family room. I called A and P plumbing and Don answered. I explained my emergency and he asked me a few questions about the situation. He and Bill came out same day a found the leak in my crawl space and fixed the issue immediately. Both gentlemen were professional and respectful. I now have this company on speed dial incase of any future mishaps. 5 star all the way! THANK YOU DON AND BILL FOR SAVING THE DAY"

"We've got an early 80's Zicka 4 BR house. Turns out the foundation drainage wasn't done properly when the house was built...our sump pump only drained ~1/4 of the basement because water doesn't flow uphill. Everdry jack-hammered the inside perimeter of the basement, replaced the drain system, installed a Cadillac-grade sump pump, trenched around the outside of the foundation, installed plastic sheeting & french drains. I've never seen a crew work like them. Wasn't cheap, but the job definitely wasn't easy. I hope Ian the crewleader runs for president."

"I recently hired this company to install a yard French drainage system to eliminate stand water in my back yard and both sides of the house. Not only was the cost reasonable, but Lonnie was a true professional. He walk me through the entire installation and explained how and why the system works and connects to the down spouts. I did not expect this and I consider him a friend."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

Most blockages can be cleared in 1-3 hours, but severe issues may take longer.

Avoid flushing non-degradable items, schedule regular inspections, and address minor clogs promptly.

Yes, frozen pipes can cause a toilet to stop working correctly. If the pipes are frozen, water cannot flow, which can lead to two main problems. First, the supply line to the toilet tank may be frozen, which prevents the tank from refilling with water after you flush. Second, the drain pipe itself can freeze, blocking water from flushing away. As a temporary solution for a non-refilling tank, you can manually add water, but this is not a long-term fix. To clear a frozen drain pipe, you can try pouring warm water into the toilet bowl or tank and then flushing, as the warm water may help thaw the ice blockage. Ultimately, the best course of action is to unfreeze the affected pipes to restore your toilet to full functionality.

There are a couple of things you can do to help prevent your French drain grate from clogging. First, keep yard debris clear so it doesn’t wash into the drain and clog the grate. You can also install a screen or filter over the grate to prevent large pieces of debris from entering the access point.

Some experts estimate that descaling your cast iron pipes can extend their lifetime by upwards of 50 years, although there’s not a lot of research to prove it. But we do know that without proper maintenance, cast iron pipes can quickly rust—leading to more expensive issues like burst pipes or main line clogs.
